Eleven-year-old Katie Brownell made national headlines, cheeks a-flushed, after she pitched a no-hitter in a Little League game in the small town of Oakfield, NY.
Even better for girl-power advocates, she struck out 18 boys. The only girl in the Oakfield-Alabama Little League baseball program, she has now become the only person anyone can remember pulling off the feat, ever.
"As far back as I can remember, I don't ever recall hearing of a perfect game,"
"She's been pitching for three years, but she's really come on and excelled this year," said Jeff Sage, manager of the team. Since news hit the wire, Katie and her mom have been flooded with phone calls from Buffalo area TV stations, New York newspapers, and even the "Today" show.
